The end for foreign player Alagie Sosseh at SLNA

In the match against Quang Nam, the SLNA coaching staff surprised many experts and football fans in Nghe An when they put foreign player Alagie Sosseh in the starting lineup. And what the striker wearing the number 9 shirt showed during his time on the field was enough to confirm that this was a "money-throwing" deal for the Vinh team.

Not only did Alagie Sosseh not score or assist his teammates, he also did not contribute anything to SLNA's overall play. Even the ability to sweep, press, and run to attract the opponent's attention - the usual strengths of foreign players, the striker born in 1986 could not do it. Looking at his clumsy and awkward ball handling, SLNA fans could only sigh in disappointment.

Yesterday's match, Alagie Sosseh played for 46 minutes, before having to make way for young player Tran Dinh Tien. Alagie Sosseh's most notable situation in the match against Quang Nam was losing the ball, creating favorable conditions for midfielder Pinto of the opposing team to launch a dangerous shot, forcing goalkeeper Nguyen Van Hoang to jump to his full height to save the goal (minute 31). Another extremely disappointing performance from the player born in Sweden.

It is very possible that with the lackluster performance at Tam Ky Stadium, the patience of the SLNA coaching staff for Alagie Sosseh has run out. Certainly, the Nghe An team will have to look for another face to replace Alagie Sosseh in the mid-season transfer period (July 21 - August 17). Only then can SLNA save this year's season./.
